[Talk-GB] addr:place cleanup process

[Tony Shield]

Hi Tom

Thanks for talking.

Your suggestions are exactly what I was thinking are appropriate.

For others listening-in - - Brinscall is a very old village and parish 
within Chorley Borough, Eaves Green is a recent housing estate within 
Chorley town (a postal town) and also in the central unparished area 
within Chorley Borough.


Regards

Tony
